In no particular order:

Randomly:

1. Brokeback Mountain (never ever have cried as much. I am a softie)
2. My Life Without Me (sigh, melancholy mixed with joy of living)
3. Bad Education (only because the majestic All About My Mother was made 1999)
4. Kill Bill 1 (and then 2)
5. Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind (The concept and the execution and the ending!!)
6. Crash
7. Million Dollar Baby (like many of Clint`s movies is just amazing in it`s rawness)
8. Notting Hill
9. Requiem For A Dream (the theme tune still plays in my head)
10. Hours

Anything Uwe Boll has directed. The man is a misunderstood genius.

1. No Country for Old Men
2. The Dark Knight
3. The Departed
4. Requiem for a Dream
5. Superbad
6. Memento
7. Munich
8. There Will Be Blood
9. Knocked Up
10. 40 Year Old Virgin
    

Definitely Children of Men, but I am too lazy to think of others.

There Will Be Blood
The Dark Knight

Star wars 3

Children of Men is the choice for me.   There were other good ones and i have yet to see Dark Knight but Children of Men surprised me the most when I saw, thought it was really entertaining.

Little Miss Sunshine

Training Day DONE

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It's my favorite movie of ALL TIME.

and I'm glad to see it in other people's top 10

American Psycho (2000)
Pleasantville
Once
Requiem for  a Dream
Amores Perros
Ratatouille
28 Days Later

i dunno about the best but those are my personal favorites from 00's

1. Battle Royale
2. Azumi
3. House of Flying Daggers
4. Eternal Sunshine of the spottless Mind
5. Lords of Dogtown
6. Brokeback Mountain
7. 28 Weeks Later
8. The Dark Knight
9. Little Miss Sunshine
10. Babel
    

I'm sooooo glad to know that I'm seemingly not the only one who knows Children of Men is one of the best movies to come out in recent years.

Dark Knight
Minority Report
Gladiator
Bourne Trilogy
Million Dollar Baby
Dumb and Dumber
40 year old virgin
Anchorman
Downfall
Collateral
Pirates of the Carribean -  Curse of the Black Pearl

maybe Transformers and the new Star Trek?

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy

1-10: This masterpiece.

I'll probably be flamed for this, but whatever, and I don't watch too many movies.
1.) Star Wars Episode III
2.) The Dark Knight
3.) Black Hawk Down
4.) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
5.) Gladiator
6.) Kingdom of Heaven
and those are the 6 that come to mind at this moment.

Off the top of my head, ,Babel and the Lord of the rings Trilogy. Ill be in the minority and say Stranger than Fiction as well. That movie needs more praise. I mean, if you can make Will Farrell do a relatively serious movie, thats instant win. 

My 5... (can't think of 10, sorry)

-The Departed
-No Country for Old Men
-Knocked Up
-Crash
-Collateral

2000-2009:

I very disappointed and kinda shocked that no one here mentioned:

The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Spider-Man 2
Black Hawk Down

Good lists - apart from those naming films from the 80s! ;) -  but I'm surprised Sin City hasn't been mentioned, unless I've missed it somewhere.  I thought SC was incredible.  I wouldn't say these were the 'best' necessarily, but perhaps the ones I most enjoyed:
__
Gladiator
LOTR Trilogy
Sin City
Bourne Trilogy
Black Hawk Down
Hero
City of God
Munich
Master & Commander
Boiler Room
--

I thought No Country For Old Men, The Departed and Children of Men were all a bit overrated.  Haven't seen The Dark Knight or There Will Be Blood yet.

 Something like this:

1. INLAND EMPIRE - David Lynch
2. In the Bedroom - Todd Field
3. Dancer in the Dark - Lars von Trier
4. Mulholland Drive - David Lynch
5. Dogville - Lars Von Trier
6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Michel Gondry (Charlie Kauffman)
7. Talk to Her - Pedro Almovodar
8. A History of Violence - David Cronenberg
9. Synechodoche, New York - Charlie Kauffman
10. There Will Be Blood - Paul Thomas Anderson
11. No Country for Old Men - Cohen
12. The Departed - Martin Scorsese
13. Zodiac - David Fincher
14. 21 Grams - Alejandro González Iñárritu
15. Memento - Christopher Nolan
16. You Can Count on Me - Keith Lonergan
17. 4 Months 3 Weeks 2 Days - Cristian Mungiu
18. The Royal Tenenbaums - Wes Anderson
19. Irreversible - Gaspar Noé
20. Far From Heaven - Todd Haynes
21. Capturing the Friedmans - Andrew Jarecki
22. Lost in Translation - Sofia Coppola
23. Mystic River - Clint Eastwood
24. Ghost World - Terry Zwigoff
25. A Scanner Darkly - Richard Linklater
26. In the Mood for Love - War Kar-wai
27. Cache - Michael Hanake
28. I Heart Huckabees - David O. Russell
29. American Splendor - Shari Springer Berman & Robert Pulcini
30. Sideways - Alexander Payne
31. The Beat That My Heart Skipped - Jacques Audiard
32. Cremaster 3 - Matthew Barney
33. Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood

I am saddened immensely that not one person has said The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky, Shame, shame on all of you.

Uncharted 2

• Memento (Seriously, check out this movie if you haven't seen it)
• Children Of Men
• Fight Club (Wrong decade?)
